WIS News 10 - Columbia, South Carolina | Machete-waving mobs in Ivory Coast attack French targets
Member Center:
(Abidjan, Ivory Coast-AP) Nov. 7, 2004 - France is sending more reinforcements to Ivory Coast, where rioting mobs have been attacking French targets and vowing to kill French nationals.
A Red Cross official says about 150 people have been wounded in Abidjan, the largest city in France's former colony in West Africa.
An Associated Press reporter saw an armed mob enter an area near a French military base, demanding to know if any French lived nearby. One rioter shouted "it's better to kill the whites than steal their stuff."
French military helicopters have been plucking trapped citizens from buildings, even as other helicopters and armored vehicles confront rioters with tear gas and percussion grenades.
